Gundam Statue Erected at Shinjuku Train Station

A monument to beloved Japanese giant mecha series Gundam has been erected at the Kamiigusa train station in Shinjuku, Tokyo, the same neighborhood in which Gundam producer Sunrise, Inc. is located.

Gundam is most famous for the loyalty it displayed years ago, having been left at Kamiigusa station by its pilot, bound for war but sadly never returning. The mecha waited at the station every day for its master's face, becoming a friendly sight to commuters, before wearing down its main power core after 3,000 short years.
